I think the last time I parked in this garage was June 3rd, 2010. That time I was here to eat fancy Mexican food. This time I was here to buy large bore straws for my wife from the mean lady at the Asian market.

It was nice being back in Boulder, seeing my coworkers and family again. But man am I ready to be home. I came a day earlier than usual to go to Peter’s going away party / baby shower, and I’m leaving a day late because of the snow. It’s been a long one.

I came back to Boulder to work out of the office for a week. It was the compromise I made for my company to let me work remotely. One week per month, to get in some face time with my coworkers.

But I ended up in the conference room for most of the week. I worked alone and didn’t get to converse with people much. Luckily I was sitting next to the only candy source in the office, so I got to see my coworkers whenever they needed a fix. Some came and visited me pretty frequently…
